Photos later.

We're currently unable to upload any photos, but maybe another computer in another interet cafe will be able to do that. Suffice to say, the sight of giraffes is great, and the view from our hotel roof restaurant on Mount Kilimanjaro is stunningly awesome! :)

Arrived in Moshi!

After safely arriving in Nairobi and spending a night there on the 1st of July, we took a 9-hour bus journey next to a tarred road (not on the tarred road!) with lots of bumps and much dust. But on the good side, we saw zebras, giraffes, cows, ostriches, antelopes and loads of birds. So we arrived hot and dusty and bumped, to find our hotel was not booked and full - so now we were forced to stay ever-so-slightly posher place (african 4 stars) with view on Mount Kilimanjaro! :)

Now we're in Moshi, took a tour to the African Wildlife College (elephan skulls, dead snake viewings, etc) , got a tour guide(Mapende - one of the students that will be staying with us for two weeks) and already met up with Elly Kimbwereza, the owner of the TONA lodge.

African food is big, tasty, and cheap!

African transport is *interesting*: fast, bumpy, dusty, with smoking brakes, and approximately 2,5 people per seat. Awesome! You get in really close contact with the locals that way (literally!)

We're all still healthy, fit and happy!

We're staying in moshi for another day before heading to TONA lodge in Manka-Mbaga.

Internet cafes are not all that available, so updates will happen infrequently and irregularly.

We're now off to enjoy Africa!
